Now, I'm a little confused.
Shouldn't there be some advantages to being a Club Member?
You sounded a bit resentful that there might be.
Maybe I misunderstood the intent of your comment.
But no matter, my suggestion would be to consider joining the Club.
It is affordable and as you point out, comes with added advantages, including the Club magazine.
And is a great way to support the hobby.
Have a GREAT New Year !!!!
